Excellent shot there Graham. Sharp as heck, can almost count the pin feathers on her.

Excellent shot of the alert bird.
Makes me remember the poem, ...a tree that may in summer wear / a nest of robbins in her hair. Or similar words.

Graham,
Nice shot! A bit different than the Robin Redbreast we see around the US.

Mr Robin has the red breast. I'll try and get a shot of him as soon as the sun comes back.

Very pretty! I can't believe the sharpness. Your robins look different from ours here in Toronto. Ours have much darker feathers and a much larger red breast, and I think they are bigger in size, too.

Nice shot, Graham. I'm surprised that this is achievable with 'only' a 300mm lens. How close could you get to the robin?
Re: New family on the block....
I promised a photo of Mr Robin. here he is:
Canon 7D EF 70-300 f4-5.6 IS USM

Your Robins look very different from the Canadian variety, much prettier!
Not my photo, but here are what ours look like:
